I guess I hadn’t visited this place for more than a decade. Over the years, it has transformed from a small hut into a proper concrete restaurant. It’s no longer just catering to tourists, but also to workers and visitors from the surrounding factories.
We went back this time because our relatives were visiting and requested a seafood dinner.
Lala with Thai Steam –
Sour, sweet, and fragrant with garlic, coriander, and chili. Very appetizing.
Four Mixed Vegetables,
famously known as “The 4 Heavenly Kings” (四大天王). This was probably the best dish of the night.
Oyster Omelette (蠔煎) –
The kids’ favorite.
Belacan Fried Chicken –
Considered one of the better dishes we had that evening.
Crabs – We ordered two
different styles. I can’t quite recall the exact flavors, but judging from the
photos, they looked like Black Pepper and Sweet & Sour.
Cantonese Steamed Garoupa –
A classic and safe choice. Simple, but you can never go wrong with it.
Teo Chew Fried Mee – A comforting carbohydrate staple to complete the meal. Nicely stir-fried with decent wok hei, making it a satisfying dish to share.
Lastly, we also ordered Octopus.
If you ask me whether I would return… honestly, it’s not as good as I remember it to be. Maybe yes, maybe no.
